SHAZAM! - Magical incantation heard on the
30-minute live-action series SHAZAM!/CBS/1974-77 starring Michael Gray as the
teenager character Billy Batson who transformed into superhero Captain Marvel by
saying the word "SHAZAM!" Billy derived his powers from the individual first
letters that made up the acronym SHAZAM:

S (Wisdom of Solomon)

H (Strength of Hercules)

A (Stamina of Atlas)

Z (Power of Zeus)

A (Courage of Achilles)

M (Speed of Mercury)

Actors John Davey (1974-76) and Jackson Bostwick (1976-77) played the role of
Captain Marvel. In the Captain Marvel comics the evil villain IBAC (a.k.a.
"Stinky Printwhistle") derived his powers from the initials for I (Ivan the
Terrible); B (Borgia the Poisoner); A (Attila the Hun); and C (Caligula, the
Emperor). The "SHAZAM!" franchise was resurrected in the movie Shazam! (2008).
